David Schindler
David William Schindler, , (August 3, 1940 – March 4, 2021) was an American/Canadian
limnologist. He held the Killam Memorial Chair and was Professor of Ecology in the Department of Biological Sciences at the
University of Alberta in
Edmonton,
Alberta. He was notable for "innovative large-scale experiments" on whole lakes at the
Experimental Lakes Area (ELA) which proved that "phosphorus controls the
eutrophication (excessive algal blooms) in temperate lakes leading to the banning of
phosphates in
detergents. He was also known for his research on
acid rain. In 1989, Schindler moved from the ELA to continue his research at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, with studies into fresh water shortages and the effects of
climate disruption on Canada's alpine and northern
boreal ecosystems. Schindler's research had earned him numerous national and international awards, including the Gerhard Herzberg Gold Medal, the First
Stockholm Water Prize (1991) the
Volvo Environment Prize (1998), and the
Tyler Prize for Environmental Achievement (2006).
